I underestimated her
When Lan Yanxi walked to the door, her logic returned. Her face changed. If Cheng Yuan had come back, she would have swiped her card into the room instead of knocking on the door.
All of this was too much of a coincidence. Lan Yanxi decided not to open the door and asked in a loud voice, pretending to be impatient, "Who is it?"
"Yanxi, it"s me!" Qiao Zhuo was standing outside the door. His voice suddenly became very gentle and full of guilt: "I came to apologize to you. My att.i.tude wasn"t good before, so I didn"t care about how you felt!"
"Qiao Zhuo?" Lan Yanxi was surprised. She thought Qiao Zhuo would treat her as his enemy for the rest of his life, but she didn"t expect him to apologize to her voluntarily and admit his wrongs.
"Yanxi, I saw you leave the restaurant without eating anything just now, so I brought you some delicious food. Please accept my apology, I"m really a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I don"t have a manly bearing, I"ve already realized my mistake, I hope we can still be friends." Qiao Zhuo sounded very sincere, and it made people feel like he was repenting.
If it wasn"t for the fact that she couldn"t contact Cheng Yuan and she was worried, Lan Yanxi would have believed his lies. However, the current Lan Yanxi was as clear-headed as a female secret service agent.
"Oh, it"s fine if you"re a friend, but it"s already rare for you to realize your own inadequacies. I hope that the next time you meet another woman, you"ll be as graceful as a man!" Lan Yanxi crossed her arms in front of her chest. She didn"t mock him with a cold tone, but an indifferent tone.
"Yanxi, can you open the door? I"ll send the food I brought in for you to eat, don"t starve to death! " Qiao Zhuo"s words revealed his concern for her and also a trace of forgiven joy.
"No need, I"ve prepared a lot of delicious food in my room. Recently, I"ve fallen in love with instant noodles and have soaked in it. Go take a nap, you still have to attend cla.s.ses in the afternoon!" Lan Yanxi cleverly refused to open the door and instead sent him away with an indifferent tone.
He didn"t expect Lan Yanxi to ignore his concern for her. It seemed that she really didn"t even want to be his friend, hmph, he didn"t expect this woman to be so hypocritical, saying one thing and doing another.
"Yanxi, have you not forgiven me yet? Am I that a
oying? They actually did not even meet face to face! " Qiao Zhuo started to feel sorry for himself, as if he had suffered a blow.
"No, I just came back to take a bath. I"m still wearing my pajamas, so it"s not convenient for me to open the door. Hurry up and leave." Lan Yanxi still had a casual tone, which made it difficult for people to guess what she was thinking.
If Lan Yanxi didn"t open the door, he wouldn"t be able to give her anything to eat. In other words, his noon plan was going to fail, but he didn"t know if Lan Yanxi would know about Cheng Yuan"s death in advance. If that was the case, then his plan would be completely ineffective. Lan Yanxi was on the other side of the door, holding her breath. She was really afraid that Qiao Zhuo would continue to use the excuse of caring for her to open the door, and she really didn"t want to have a falling out with him. She no longer had Cheng Yuan to protect her safety, so she had to stand on her own feet.
What"s more, she already suspected Qiao Zhuo of having ulterior motives.
Since Cheng Yuan"s phone was not co
ected, Qiao Zhuo took the opportunity to apologize and make up with her. Was this also a coincidence?
Lan Yanxi was not stupid. She was in a bad situation and anyone could hurt her. If she did not have any safety a.s.surance, she would not be able to open the door.
"Alright, then you can rest. I won"t disturb you anymore!" Qiao Zhuo could only endure his anger as he turned around and left.
After turning a corner, he threw the things he had bought into the trash can. He had underestimated Lan Yanxi too much. Normally, she looked very cute and stupid, but her personality was also simple. He hadn"t thought that she would be so smart at such a crucial moment.
However, without Cheng Yuan"s protection, no matter how smart she was, what could she do?
Not long after Qiao Zhuo left, Lan Yanxi heaved a sigh of relief. It just so happened that at this time, Lieutenant Chu"s phone call came in and she quickly picked it up.
"Lieutenant Chu, have you found Cheng Yuan"s location?" Lan Yanxi asked anxiously.
"No, the tracking device on her phone also didn"t reflect anything. I can"t find her exact location!" Lieutenant Chu"s tone was also filled with nervousness and worry.
"What?" How could this be? Under what circ.u.mstances would the tracker fail? " Lan Yanxi suddenly asked.
"To be artificially smashed or submerged in water!" Lieutenant Chu calmly replied to her.
"Then... Could Cheng Yuan be in danger? Should I go out and find her? " Lan Yanxi panicked, completely at a loss of what to do.
At this moment, a low male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yanxi, where are you now?" It was Ling Mofeng. Hearing his voice, he was very worried about her.
"I"m in the hotel!" "I"m fine," Lan Yanxi replied softly. She felt a bit more at ease when she heard his voice. Lock the door well, and don"t open the door to anyone. Don"t worry about Cheng Yuan, I"ll send someone out to find her. Ling Mofeng was calm as he warned her word by word, as if he was afraid that she would disobey him. In the end, he still said: "Promise me you won"t run around!" Lan Yanxi"s mind buzzed as she listened to his deep voice. After a while, she asked stiffly, "Has our relations.h.i.+p been exposed?" Have I become their target? "
"It"s possible!" However, he tried his best to comfort the little lady through the phone, "Yanxi, don"t make wild guesses. This could also be a trap set by the other party to test our relations.h.i.+p, we can"t mess around, if someone comes to find you, first think of a way to deal with it, then I"ll send someone to protect you!"
"Oh, that"s right. Just now, Qiao Zhuo came to find me. I had a huge argument with him last time, and he came to apologize to me. He even said that he wanted to give me lunch. I didn"t open the door for him and sent him away!" Lan Yanxi quickly mentioned what happened just now to Ling Mofeng. She lost her judgment, but Ling Mofeng would definitely give her a good suggestion.
"There must be something wrong with this Qiao Zhuo"s heart. Of course, don"t come in contact with him anymore. If he comes looking for you again, don"t ever see him either. Stay in the room and wait for my men." Ling Mofeng"s face turned ashen. Whenever he thought of another man trying to please Lan Yanxi, his jealousy would naturally rise. He really wanted to tear that b.a.s.t.a.r.d apart.
"Don"t worry, I don"t believe anyone now!" Lan Yanxi had completely lost her sense of security.
"It"s good to have this realization. Let me take a look and call you back!" Ling Mofeng finally made this decision. Even if their relations.h.i.+p was going to blow up, he would definitely bring her back to protect himself. He definitely wouldn"t let her be frightened in a foreign land by herself.
"Really? "Then think of a way, I don"t want to stay here anymore, I"m really worried about Cheng Yuan"s safety. Ling Mofeng, you must promise me, send more people to find her, don"t let her be in danger!" Lan Yanxi"s nervous voice trembled.
"Fine, I promise you, I will definitely let her return safely!" Ling Mofeng knew that she was scared and full of guilt towards Cheng Yuan. That was why he promised her so that she would feel at ease.
"Alright, then hurry up and find her. I"ll hang up first, I"ll be careful myself!" Although Lan Yanxi wanted to keep hearing his voice, she couldn"t take up too much of his precious time, so she needed him to send someone to save Cheng Yuan as soon as possible.
"Alright, take care of yourself!" Ling Mofeng was also reluctant to hang up the phone. Although that little girl pretended to be strong and calm, but his heart was in pain.
Lan Yanxi was walking back and forth in the room, biting her finger. She would look out the window every now and then because she wanted to know if Cheng Yuan was safe or not.
In the afternoon, cla.s.s was due to start. Lan Yanxi said she was sick and asked for a leave of absence. When Qiao Zhuo heard that she had applied for leave, he was instantly furious.
Did Lan Yanxi discover something?
